Microalgae mass cultures can use solar energy for the biofixation of power plant flue gas and other concentrated CO2 sources into biomass that can be used to produce renewable fuels such as methane, ethanol, biodiesel, oils and hydrogen and for other fossil-fuel sparing products and processes. They thus can mitigate emissions of fossil CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Microalgae are currently us...

OVERVIEW: Growing concern about environmental problems caused by thermal power plants is making the reduction of CO2 through more efficient power generation and the reduction of NOx and other emissions a top priority. The deregulation of the electric power industry, meanwhile, is helping to expand the demand for medium-capacity, high-efficiency thermal power plants geared toward IPP (independen...

abstract the goal of this research is simulating an optimum reactor to eliminate greenhouse gases, mainly co2, through combined cycle in stacks of power plant, using a strong base (sodium hydroxide) thinned by water. during this process sodium bicarbonate salt is generated together with water and the produced salty water is desalinated and its useful salts are also extracted. four scenarios hav...

in this study a pseudo comprehensive carbon footprint model for fossil fuel power plants is presented. parameters which their effects are considered in this study include: plant type, fuel type, fuel transmission type, internal consumption of the plant, degradation, site ambient condition, transmission and distribution losses. investigating internal consumption, degradation and site ambient con...

If asked, what is the relation between climate change, intense weather and health probably the answer would be a straight line relation among the three. The earth is getting warmer day by day and global warming has become a major concern in the past few decades. Various research work is going on but so much of carbon dioxide has already been poured into the atmosphere, so that the technology im...

Modern industrial power plants require continuous monitoring to ensure their safe and reliable operation. This monitoring depends heavily on accurate sensor readings from a large number of sensors, making sensors an important part of any plant. The possibility of more than a single sensor being simultaneously faulty should not be overlooked. In this paper, a nonlinear system data validation app...

recently, many countries have paid substantial attention to power generation from biomass gasification, particularly through small-scale plants. a number of power plant models have been suggested and analyzed; however, certainly, desirable configurations have not been identified yet. moreover, their performances are ordinarily difficult to compare, especially owing to the fact that working hypo...

background and purpose: due to the lack of accurate statistics on the amount of waste generated in the energy production sector in zahedan, before any planning, one should identify all waste producing centers associated with the energy sector and also the quantity and quality of their waste in zahedan. materials and methods: this research is a cross-sectional descriptive study. it examined the ...
